Madame de Pompadour Altered Bottle - Designed for Alpha Stamps

I designed this bottle for Alpha Stamps.  The bottle was about 1½” high before altering and all four sides are decorated.  Once I added the feet and stopper, the overall height of the finished piece was 3½”.   I really loved working with this bottle as the sides are very flat.  Some bottles look flat but they curve slightly in or out.

I started by stamping and embossing each side of the bottle using the Enchanted Clear Stamp Set.  Click here for a tutorial on how to stamp, emboss and paint glass.  I painted the bottle using green metallic paint.

Next, I added German scrap to the bottom and the neck of the bottle.  I used alcohol inks to paint the German scrap at the bottom green. I mounted the images of Madame de Pompadour in oval settings.  To make the oval settings look more like a cameo, I added Glossy Accents on top of the image.

I painted the feet with the same metallic paint as I used on the glass.  At the mouth of the metal birds is a loop.  I used the loops to hang the rosary chain.  After attaching the rosary chain to all of the birds, I glued the birds onto the glass using Glossy Accents.  Lastly, I added the gold rose charms and filled the centers with green Stickles.

The bottle came with a cork stopper which I painted.  I inserted the fan in a slit I cut in the top of the cork.  I painted the fan gold to match the other metal pieces and added green crystals.
